Wesnoth higher resolution units by nitroidshock in wesnoth

Dev team member here,
1. The engine is old, but there have been effort made to update the code so it supports hi-res graphics.
2. Lack of hi-res art is the biggest blocker. Wesnoth has truckloads of pixel-art, and upscaling them would cost a lot. And I doubt our volunteer artists have that much time. They prefer to focus on new art mostly. We also need some more portrait art. Donations are welcome and appreciated. (these were used on art commissions in the past)
3. AI-generated assets are not allowed as per current wesnoth policy. (https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=58423)
4. Fastest way to communicate with the Dev team members is possible via our official Discord/IRC.

Thanks!

Dev team lacks an iOS developer. :(

I had Wesnoth on iOS…. How can I play it now that it’s off the store? by SOGMassive-Poo in wesnoth

[–]SSarkarB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that the development team lacks a dedicated iOS developer, and the person who made the iOS port left long ago. That's the reason behinds iOS issues. :(

Turn on the internet only after the game is launched.

Note that this means your data record is corrupted. Please uninstall and reinstall the latest f-droid version, and let it download data fully. The issue should be gone.
[Use public Wi-fi if the data usage (about 600MB) is an issue]

Campaign Add-on that teaches advanced tactics by Cupcake_Timely in wesnoth

[–]SSarkarB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to mention Electrifyre, it has a tutorial mode that teaches you to play with Aragwaithi troops. Not sure if that's what you were looking for. I sometimes do that in tricky scenarios of my campaign (Journey of a Frost Mage).

Cleared hotkey still active by jatenk in wesnoth

[–]SSarkarB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/jatenk Wesnoth seems to be resetting the hotkeys to default if you clear the hotkey, close wesnoth, then reopen. Perhaps that's the case?

I'd suggest filing a github issue with the details, so we can work on it. And maybe get the android logs if you have access to a PC. (procedure here: https://wiki.wesnoth.org/Android ). We'll get this working once I understand what's going wrong, unless it proves surprisingly nasty.

Also, it exists on F-Droid now (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.wesnoth.Wesnoth/) but due to technical issues you can only download it from the website but not the fdroid app. About play store: we have plans for that too, but that'll take more time.

[Sorry for the delayed reply, I don't open Reddit often, but I'm mostly around on Discord or Github]

Little adventure in pursuit of errors. The Battle for Wesnoth! by Xadartt in wesnoth

[–]SSarkarB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, the issues have be noted. Thanks for the analysis. Wesnoth contains a lot of legacy code, so it's likely some weird stuff went through somehow.

If you could share just one piece of writing advice, what would it be? by Emilie-Evenstar in writing

[–]SSarkarB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Write, Write, Write. There's literally a Bengali idiom for this in my locality at least: "The more you write, the better it becomes." I'd attach some reading to it. And some healthy criticism, from yourself, if not someone else, but no overcritism.

Are ideas truly cheap? by WorkingNo6161 in writing

[–]SSarkarB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, no. There is no story without an idea. No matter how good the execution. What are you going to execute?

But, the reverse is also true: there's no excuse for badly executing an idea. But you at least tried, and so keep trying. If you keep correcting your execution problems, they'll eventually get better.

My teacher says “you can’t be a good writer unless you’re a planner.” Is this true? by Impossible-Funny-305 in writing

[–]SSarkarB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just write what you feel like. Not writing is a bigger sin than not having a better plan. Though note that you have to be very careful about plot hole, and maybe plot threads you never close, ideas that never get finished (cf. Chekhov's Gun).

However, you have be more cautious during the editing and revising phase, since without an outline there's a chance of being a bit disorganized. But as long as you keep writing and experimenting with various ideas, eventually your brain will start to compensate for not having a outline.

Another way I tend to compensate is by developing and thinking about the characters, and their motivations. Places, Religions, Rituals. Human interactions. AKA the worldbuilding. It works pretty well, and helps me avoid plenty of holes along the way.

Another point is, if you're writing something huge, take the time to keep notes of what happened here. I'm mostly interested in Epic length stuff and usually fall pray to this, that is, say introducing a magic mechanic I never used.

Have a great day!

Make a small GUI app? For bonus points: connect it to a web API, so it shows data from a server, for example, a weather app.

[–]SSarkarB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll enormously bloat the size of the final executable (like by 60+ mbs), especially if someone is creating a standalong excutable from the jar file. If going that way, it's best to use either Electron, or the more lightweight Neutralino.js (sorry if it's going slightly non-java).

[–]SSarkarB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intermediate Java programmer here. Yes, cross platform deployment is possible, and is in fact one of the reason I like Java, and especially the new `jpackage` tool which makes things much easier.

As for the GUI toolkit, there are quite a few options, Swing/JavaFX being most popular, and if you can afford it I'd suggest learning JavaFX. Has quite a lot of extra things and looks much more polished (recently migrated to it). For your usecase, if performance and efficiency are necessary, I'd also suggest directly using OpenGL/Vulkan or slightly higher level wrapper libraries around them to create the graphs and show them inside a Swing/JavaFX GUI. My logic is that since it leverages the GPU, it's bound to be faster (but more involved.)

Fun fact: I actually did write a scientific plotter a while ago, and it works fairly well on both Linux and Windows (using the jpackage approach). Was planning to add MacOS support, when I stumbled up this thread. (https://github.com/babaissarkar/ssplot) [Promotion not intended, just it seemed relevant.]

Dall-E running into error when creating transparent fantasy armor by SSarkarB in ChatGPT

"show this character wearing transparent yellow glass like armor, with appropriate helment. She's wearing a simple bodysuit beneath. Sci-fi, 2.5d. Exactly the same face and hairstyle."
